"Think of the environment before sending a cheque" - if your email signature reads like this, you may want to try something different that will actually help someone in some part of the world.

Simply sign-up with Reply for All and choose the cause you want to support - it could be Cancer cure, AIDS prevention, animal rights, children’s rights, global warming, clean water, poverty or education.

When you send an email using Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, Reply For All will automatically embed a signature into your message - the sponsor will pay the Reply For All service and that payment will be shared with the cause you may have selected.

The signature is optional so if you don’t like a particular banner in the email, you can easily delete it from your email message just like normal text.

The downside - while you can add signatures in Gmail with a simple drag-n-drop, Reply For All would require you to install a Firefox plugin.

In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.

A device driver simplifies programming by acting as an abstraction layer between a hardware device and the applications or operating systems that use it. The higher-level application code can be written independently of whatever specific hardware device it will ultimately control, as it can interface with it in a standard way, regardless of the underlying hardware.

Every version of a device, such as a printer, requires its own hardware-specific specialized commands. In contrast, most applications utilize devices (such as sending a file to a printer) by means of high-level device-generic commands such as PRINTLN (print a line).

Whether its HP drivers or Sony drivers, the device-driver accepts these generic high-level commands and breaks them into a series of low-level device-specific commands as required by the device being driven. Furthermore, drivers can provide a level of security as they can run in kernel-mode, thereby protecting the operating system from applications running in user-mode.

Most hardware manufacturers recommend you download the latest official (non beta) drivers on a regular basis to keep your computer running correctly. DriversSoftware.com has 3000 companies and 300,000 drivers listings for nearly every imaginable piece of hardware

Do you feel this is more or less secure than the old fashioned key lock?

Are you afraid that someone may steal your fingerprints?

What benefit would you think this has for your children to use instead of giving them a house key?

Did you know that you can program people to allow them temporary access during specific times? Who would this be good for? Do you see any problems with this?

Doors have locks to keep unauthorized people out, of course. Unfortunately, the reality is that door keys get lost, duplicated, or even worse… stolen. How about using a keyless lock? In fact, something more than that!

The locks are easily installed on just about any standard door and provide businesses and homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that only the fingerprints of authorized users can access the lock.
